Tatting Magic

My shuttles have been languishing, I'm having tatting withdrawal symptoms! I'm tatting Black Magic from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior. It's been on my to-do list for a while. The thread is Olympus size 40, wonderful to tat with. I made a false start. Lesson one: count picots carefully before tatting the next element!

    I love that pattern, and I've never been able to tat it correctly. When I finish my Jan Stawasz Masterpiece, I think I'll give this one a try again. Lovely thread!

      It is tricky, I've had to do quite a bit of untatting!

    I like. It, what's the thread? I've made a few black magic, edges, cross and it takes me quite a few repeats to remember to check before joining or closing a ring.

    What a beautiful colour, it almost looks fluorescent! What are you going to use it on?

    I can identify that pattern miles away! Very pretty and the thread colour is also lovely.

    Jane, what is the colour number? Be Be Bold sells Olympus, if I knew what colour to ask for they say they can bring it to the big Craft Show in Brisbane next month.I always buy a few balls every time.

      Mmm.. I can't see a number. It would've been on the cellophane wrap, which I haven't kept. There doesn't seem to be a number on the cardboard core. Sorry I can't help. It is pink and green, would that do?

      I must say that I really like tatting with Olympus, it is smooth and well twisted and all the colours seem to be fine.

      Pink and green will be fine, Jane! - just goes to show, doesn't it, that colours are not always as they appear, because on my ancient computer monitor it's the most vivid, stunning turquoise and lilac!

      Oh gosh, I rather think the colours were a bit distorted by the camera.
